See Mosquito Gulch trailhead status for approach. From the London/Kuss saddle the ridge is mostly dry. Some short snow patches where you bypass the lower towers, some easy scrambling gets you over them. A few short strips of snow up higher. Some tracks cut those low, I went directly on the ridge crest to avoid crossing steeper slopes. Photo 1: lower ridge Photo 2: upper ridge Photos (click for slideshow):

was up there on saturday, but the wind had blown over all our tracks by the time we went back down. Cool mountain, but there are a lot of false summits on that ridge!
